Chapter 202 Selling Myself for Fifty Years
Hearing what Li Fan said, He Zhenghao was slightly stunned and looked puzzled.
However, Li Fan did not give him time to react or think, and instantly used the ability of the [Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart] simulated by [Huan Zhen] to bewitch people to the extreme.
"I am 29 years old and in the late stage of foundation building. What do you think of my talent, fellow Daoist?" Li Fan looked at He Zhenghao with a sharp gaze and asked.
"He is a gifted man, rare in the world." He Zhenghao couldn't help but answer.
"I just tried my hand at investing in Lingwu Grass and made a huge profit of 600,000 contribution points. Others went bankrupt but I became rich. What do you think of my ability, fellow Daoist?" Li Fan asked again.
As if speaking to He Zhenghao's sore spot, he glanced at Li Fan with resentment, and then replied: "Daoyou have a sharp eye and a keen intuition. I am far inferior to you!"
Li Fan added: "In the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, ordinary cultivators are like cattle and horses. Without power and background, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to stand out. Do you agree with me, fellow Taoist?"
He Zhenghao nodded: "Daoyou is right."
Li Fan patted He Zhenghao on the shoulder and said earnestly: "That's why you and I should stick together for warmth."
He Zhenghao felt that what Li Fan said made some sense, but before he had time to think about it, he heard Li Fan ask with concern: "You have been a member of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance for quite a few years, right?"
He Zhenghao thought for a moment and said with a nostalgic look, "Yes, it has been almost a hundred years."
Li Fan listened and shook his head repeatedly: "It's been more than a hundred years, and you're only in the middle stage of foundation building. I've also heard you say that you have quite a bit of face on Wanxian Island. But, how much effect do the connections you've worked so hard to build have on your cultivation? I'm afraid it's minimal, right?"
He Zhenghao was about to refute, but he opened his mouth and couldn't utter a word.
Because what Li Fan said was indeed true.
"That's because, what you are managing are all useless relationships. If you still have value, they will naturally treat you with a smile and be polite. But if one day you lose all your cultivation, what will they do? Will they still look at you straight in the eye? What's more, their relationship with you is definitely just superficial. If it really involves their own interests, haha..." Li Fan persuaded.
He Zhenghao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"In short, you didn't find the right person to back you up, and you followed the wrong person!"
"But if you follow me, it's very different."
"I value brotherhood the most. I believe in sharing happiness and hardships together." Li Fan said incessantly with a righteous look on his face.
"Take the Nascent Soul technique that you have been seeking for but have been unable to obtain..." Li Fan paused here, completely attracting He Zhenghao's attention.
"If you are determined to follow me and work for me, I can lend you 250,000 contribution points and let you exchange them for cultivation. That's not a problem!" Li Fan said firmly.
He Zhenghao heard this, and he seemed to be struck by lightning. He trembled all over and became completely uneasy: "Are you serious?"
"Haha, I, Li Fan, always keep my promises and stick to my words!"
"I heard that the Nascent Soul technique that you are interested in seems to be quite compatible with your foundation-building artifact?"
He Zhenghao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that technique is called 'Mountain and River Hidden Dragon Technique'. If I can change to this technique, I will definitely be able to achieve the Golden Core within fifty years. Even breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is almost certain."
After saying that, he looked at Li Fan eagerly, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
"If you want to accumulate 250,000 contribution points again, it will take a long time. If you can exchange it for a technique sooner and break through to the Golden Core Realm a few decades earlier, I'm afraid your future achievements will be completely different!"
The desire in He Zhenghao's eyes became stronger and stronger.
After a while, after some thought, He Zhenghao finally said: "If Daoyou can lend me contribution points, I will definitely follow your lead in everything in the future."
Li Fan chuckled, took out a piece of golden foil from the storage ring, used his hand as a pen, and quickly wrote a few lines on it.
Then he handed it to He Zhenghao with a smile: "Words are not enough, if you agree, please sign this [Business Contract]!"
This golden [Business Contract] was exactly the same as the one signed between the clone and Jiao Xiuyuan before.
It is said to have been circulated from the Five Elders Association and is a simplified version of the Five Elders Association's [Soul Contract].
Once both parties sign the contract, they will be bound by the power of the contract and will spontaneously act in accordance with the matters agreed upon in the contract.
He Zhenghao read the terms of the contract carefully.
"Cultivator Li Fan is lending 250,000 contribution points to cultivator He Zhenghao at an annual interest rate of 1%."
"Both parties agreed to pay it back in fifty years."
"During this period, He Zhenghao and Li Fan formed an alliance of interests with Li Fan as the core. As long as it would not significantly harm his own interests, He Zhenghao would fully accept Li Fan's requests and opinions."
"Li Fan should reduce or exempt the interest for that year as appropriate based on He Zhenghao's performance each year."
…
He Zhenghao frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed his brows.
In his opinion, the content of this [Business Contract] was actually not harsh.
Even a bit generous.
After all, 250,000 contribution points is a huge sum of money for a foundation-building cultivator.
Who would be willing to lend so much contribution points to a foundation-building cultivator at such a low interest rate?
What’s more, there is also the opportunity to reduce or waive interest every year.
All you need to do is work for Li Fan.
It's just a disguised form of working.
Compared with the [Soul Contract] of the Five Elders Association, which promised unconditional loyalty, this contract was still very generous.
He Zhenghao thought so.
So, after hesitating for a while, he slowly wrote his name on the [Business Contract].
Li Fan looked delighted upon seeing this.
He signed his name with great speed.
The pen is put to paper and the contract is done.
The golden light suddenly split into three parts, and one part flew into the sky.
The other two portions flowed into Li Fan and He Zhenghao's bodies respectively.
"From now on, we are family." Li Fan said, patting He Zhenghao's shoulder with a smile.
He Zhenghao also felt that Li Fan was becoming more friendly.
"Do you have the Tianxuan Mirror? I will transfer the contribution points to you." Li Fan said proactively.
"Yes, yes." He Zhenghao immediately took out the Tianxuan small mirror from the storage ring.
A moment later, 250,000 contribution points were successfully acquired.
He Zhenghao's face suddenly turned red with excitement, and he couldn't wait to exchange for the "Mountain and River Hidden Dragon Skill".
A golden jade slip appeared in his hand. He Zhenghao couldn't help but feel excited as he finally got the Nascent Soul Skill that he had been dreaming of for a long time.
He Zhenghao bowed to Li Fan and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist!"
Li Fan narrowed his eyes and waved his hand: "We are all family, why should we be polite?"
"Now that you have learned the skills, why not check out the effects? Is it really as suitable as you said? I will protect you!" Li Fan suggested.
